Mini-Challenge #589 - What the Locals Photograph
3

Nice wide open mini challenge - Let's see what you've photographed locally around town, region.

Might grab your smiling butcher or baker handing you goods. Maybe a local festival with singers, street performers. A car show, farmer's market, nice sunset, rainbow, neat building, sports match...anything goes.

3 entries per member and any camera, any time may be used. Exhibits welcome too. Please mark whether entry or exhibit in your post.

I'll conclude the challenge at 01 July 2022, 23:59 Pacific Daylight Time (UTC -7:00)

here's some snapshots around town over the last few months as an example

A couple takes a selfie in the seasonal lights.

The night skyline appears to run into the water like dripping paint.

Sunset at the beach and watching aircraft come into land at the airport

A mother films her son flying a kite down a street of cherry blossoms.

A naval visit for fleet weekend

leaving the quay after an ice cream and stopping for flowers along the boardwalk.

An example of traditional architecture: "familok" ("family house"). Usually 8-12 flats, red brick, built by big enterprises (steel mills, mines) for workers in 19th and early 20th century.

Local landmark, "Spodek" ("Saucer") arena. Reflected in an awful nearby office building, at least useful as a mirror...

I love a good waterline. Always been intrigued by the 22mm and M system.

So do I.

I love it. It's the perfect match for me. Use it for street-photography and replaces my G15. Size and IQ is very good. The only negative point is the slow AF of the M2. Today I would choose the M200 or the M6 II with my 22mm F2.
